SCRANTON, OCTOBE The Spriinr Campaign Over Again. From al! indications the campaign which was waged in this city last spring is to be duplicated in the county this, fail. The Democratic primaries on Saturday were not the occasion of any great excitement, though in some districts there were lively contests. However, the Democrats seem to he lining t'P a general melee, just us they did previous to their city convention. It is not likely that the factional bitterness will manifest itstlf in the riotous scenes that attended the nomination of the municipal ticket, but the feeling will be very intense.

The false prophets who predicted Republican defeat in the spring because of the new popular vote system of nominations aroused the cupidity of the usually apathetic Democracy to such a degree that almost every man in the party wanted to get on the ticket. That is the way with the Democrats when they think there is an office in sight. Hut the prophets realized how poorly tilted they were for the business of political augury when the votes were counted in the February election. The same prophets have told the Democrats there is a chance to win this fall. The fact that the party is entitled to at least a minority representation on the board of commissioners and the board cf utiditors has intensified the desire for nomination.

There will be great cutting and slashing, and the Democrats will get what the law allows them, no more. Democracy's political prophets had better go into the weather business. The Goebel Law. It anybody thinks that there is not plenty of fun in Old Kentucky let him read the following dispatch from Lexington: "The second 'Honest Election Club' of the state was formed here tonight, with John K. Terhune chairman.

The meeting, which was participated in by Republicans and Democrats alike, was called to order by T. T. Forma and addressed by able speakers, including three preachers. Judge George Denny, who was elected to Congress and counted out by henchmen of W. C.

Owens. Democrat, declared that death would be preferable to slavery under the Goebel election law. Colonel II. A. Thornton, a speaker, declared his intention cf leaving the state with his family ir Goebel fastens Goebelism on the people of this state.

The speakers advocated force in defense of their rights at the polls. A tommittee was appointed to devise some mode of action at another meeting to be held on Monday night." The objectionable Goebel election law takes the control of the ballots out of the hands of the people and puts it into the hands of a political machine of which Mr. Goebel is the head. The people of Pennsylvania can imagine wh it the conditions would be in this state if instead of having our judge of election and majority and minority inspectors elected by the people in each district the votes were counted by officers appointed by somebody at Har risburg. The intent of the law is make fraud easy.

One of the most prominent of the workers for the regular Democratic ticket declared in a speech recently that they will elect Goebel honestly if they can. but if they cannot do it honestly they will elect him somehow. It is no great wonder that the honest people of the state threaten to rebel against such tyranny, for tyranny it is. The Question of Giving. "The Help that Harms" is the epigrammatic title under which IUshop Potter of New York discusses the subject of promiscuous giving.

He cites liis own personal experience as proof of his proposition that there ir. a eip that Once, when he was th i pastor of a church in a great city, he noticed, as he was about to enter the study of a brother clergyman, the departure cf a woman that belonged to hi own congregation. As she turned her fa away from him. he suspected that the object of her call had been to obtain assistance that she did not need. When he enquired about her, ho was ti Ul not only that she had been begging l)ut that she belonged to the con gregati of the clergyman that h3 was visiting.

It was found upon investigation that she was a member of several other congregations, and that from eech, she was receiving a monthly allowance. On another occasion a person called upon the bishop for assistance, and to establish a claim for consideration, presented a letter that had been written by his father twenty five yeats before. The letter was a general one. and was designed to assist a man, a mechanic, temporarily in need. Put when he discovered that It was a talisman that wouM open the pocket of every person that knew the author, he abandoned his and became a professional beggar.

When Bishop I'jttcr refused to give him a cent In aid, I.ut offered him ten dollars for the letter, he looked at him with a leer of cunning ml contempt, placed It In his pocket boclc, and left. Bishop Potter told of nn institution for the treatment nf the eye and ear with which he Is officially connected. It was found recently that number of patients whi came for gratuitous treatment left their carriages conveniently around the "Ths unblushing readiness with which Institution, benevolence is utlllx. in cvsry direction" is vicious aM deteriorating. A young married man In the West wrote to his kindred In the "Well, we have had here a glorious revai of religion.

Mary nnd I have been hopefully converted, father has got very old and helpless, and so have pent him to the county house." Bishop Potter declares that it is Impossible to find homes for broken down gentlewomen In the institutions founded for their benefit "because lady manag ers have flUed their places with worn out servants, who, having spent their years and strength in their employer's service, are turned over in their old age, with a shrewd frugality which Qiie cannot but admire, to be maintained at the cost of other people." can be no doubt that there are many abuses of the public charities, and of private charities, too. for that matter. Put Bishop Potter does not offer a solution of the difficulty thich he portrays. Promiscuous giving to in divuals may encourage frauds, but for the matter of that the charitable institutions do the same thing according to the bishop's story. So long as the world lasts and human nature is venal there will be those ready to take advantage of the charitable giver.

But there is probably no more of that kind of fraud now than there ever was. And there are some persons generous enough to be willing to be victimized by frauds occasionally rather than to refuse to help worthy poisons really in need. Where Our Knco Failed. When the French liner LaBurgogne was wrecked the scenes attendant upon the disaster gave the English and American press the opportunity to dilate upon the superiority of the Anglo Saxon, as it was averred that sailors our race would never have been guilty of the conduct which condemned women and children to perish while the sailors saved themselves. Now the story comes from Montreal of the wreck of the British steamer Scotsman.

The survivors "tell a story of suffering and bad treatment which has no parallel in recent years." If the French newspapers ask us for an apology for the slurs we threw upon their nation on account of the wreck of La Bur gogne what will we do? The Vitascope Soldier. Colonel Bryan has been endeavoring to enlist political support on the strength of his military record. It seems like a rather impolite thing to do, even if his career in the army had been one of glorious activity. We feel disposed to give to Mr. Bryan full credit for patriotic motives in entering the military service of his country, though his recent endeavors to pose as a military hero who had been deprived of a chance to do great deeds by a jealous administration is rather ludicrous.

In a speech at O'Neill. Nebraska, Mr. Bryan boasted "that 1 then raised a regiment of my own." The Nebraska State Journal declares that this sounds funny in Lincoln, where the facts are known. The history of the organization of the regiment which Mr. Bryan claims to have raised is given as folia ws: "The regiment was virutally 'raised' and offered to the governor by boys, many of them from the well drilied ranks of the university cadets before Mr.

Bryan had concluded to be a colonel and the governor was requested to appoint Captain Dudley of the United Stales army, who was a former instructor of military science and tactics in the university. "At a banquet given Captain Dudley about this time, at which both the governor and Mr. Bryan were present, the oiler was virtually accepted and tine governor promised if further troops were called for from this state to appoint Captain Dudley to the command of the next regiment. "When the Third regiment was called for, the boys were running over each other to enlist. Then it occurred to the governor and Mr.

Bryan that it was good politics to have Ryan for colonel. To that end a meeting was called of the Lincoln Bimetallic Marching league to organize into a company. A few of them gave in their names, but could not muster enough to make even a majority of the company, and boys outside came tumbling up with requests for the privilege of signing the roll. "Great care was taken to keep the roll politically right for Bryan, it having been determined that he should be elected captain of that company and afterward promoted colonel. But in spite of all precautions when a sufficient number of names had been accepted to allow the election of a captain and a meeting was hastily summoned to perform that ceremony, the boys chose by ballot a man for captain who had been thoroughly drilled with the university cadets and held a commission from the regents signed by the governor of Nebraska as a reserve officer of the National Guard.

"Cut it was made so unpleasant for this young man. who had been foremost in the enterprise of organizing Dudley's promised regiment, by the governor and High Private Bryan, that he resigned. Mr. Bryan was then announced as having been promoted colonel from the ranks by the governor and the great historical picture of 'Colonel receiving his commission from the governor' was vita scoped long before the regiment was sutliciently organized to allow the commissioning of a colonel and consequently long in advance of the actual issue of his commission." This gives us an entirely new picture of Colonel Bryan, and one which Is not a pleasant one. We would prefer to believe Mr.

Bryan above the vitascope stage in his patriotism. His friends will doubtless fume at the recital of this history, but they should remember that it was Bryan's ridiculous claim which provoked its publication. A Famine of Small Chance A situation in the country's finances which promises to be annoying though not the cause of alarm is the scarcity of subsidiary coin. The demand for fractional currency will of course be greater as the holidays approach, and the treasury officials are at a loss to know how they will meet the needs of business. The law limits the amount of subsidiary silver coinage to fifty million dollars.

The treasury having Ions ago exhausted the full amount, can now only recoln mutilated or worn out half dollars, quarters and dimes. So heavy is the demand for small silver, arising in consequence of prosperity and active business throughout the country, that the Treasury has seen Its stock of fractional currency fall to some two million dollars, scattered among the different subtreasurles. In view of the larger demand for small change which will undoubtedly make Its apearance as the winter holiday season draws near, banks are naturaly endeavoring to procure supplies, and the Treasury officials are, according to all accounts discussing the possibility of meeting the situation, for It Is unable to furnish ar. ads quate supply retail trade may suffer. Congress, of course, will be asked to modify the present law as soon as It assemble.

But the action of Congress, whether It takes the form of an Increase in the total of the fractional currency or confers discretionary power on the secretary of the Treasury to purchase silver bullion or to coin in this THE SCINTON REPUBLICAN. MONDAY. 070TETt 2. lSlb. form some of! the stock of silver now held in the Treasury, ean do very little good in meeting the expected enormous holiday demand for "change." But with the relief measures which Congress will undoubtedly pass there will be provisions made against the country being caught short in the future.

American Reel Abroad Those who feared that the army beet (tivcl icutl.md tvrtuM narniflnpnttv in jure the sale of the American article abroad will be reassured by the recent Treasury reports. The July returns show an increase In our exports of canned beef to foreign countries. The real excellence of the average beef Is irresistible. As to provisions in general, too, our export trade is booming. For the eight months ending August, 1SSH), we sold or these goods to our over seas' as compared with 0i) in the first eight months of in the corresponding period of ISliT, and $73.1 15, in that of 1 Si.Hi.

One of the most notable circumstances connected with the marvelous increase in our exports is that it was accomplished under the tariff laws which the free traders declared were calculated to kill all onr business with other countries. The waitings which the free traders indulged in two years ago were ridiculous enough at the time, but in the light of the events and the explosion of their fondest theories they are surpassingly funny. Lavinia Dempsey has sent an engrossed copy of her advice to Oom Paul, and we may expect to see the atmosphere in South Africa clear up immediately. The resignation of the Spanish cabinet gets half a dozen lines in the newspapers which a year ago would give columns to such an occurrence. Bishop Potter's latest stand on the divorce question is due, not to a belief In an unchanging principle, but to annoyance caused by the scandalous actions of some of his immediate social set.

The Chicago was only an incident in the Dewey parade, although it just arrived from a cruise in which, a foreign potentate was compelled to shell out and pay American claims under tiie guns of the cruiser. But in these days of great things, such happenings ar 2 trivial. FOREIGN NOTES OF INTEREST At last an end has come to Nelson's famous flagship, the Foudroyant. Since the old hull was sold a few years ago by the British admiralty It has suffered all kinds of vicissitudes unworthy of so noble a hulk. She has been dragged around for exhibition purposes at sixpence a head and it has even been threatened to turn her into a coal barge, the fate of many a gallant vessel.

Finally she was broken up to be made into canes, but before this could be done, an enterprising English publisher who is giving away "dirt cheap" Lubbuck's 100 best books bought up her scattered timbers and had them made into book cases which would be as improving to the eye as the books are to the mind. These he is selling for $12.01 cash, and he has a metal plate screwed on every one guaranteeing that not only the wood, but every bolt, screw and nail came from the ship. Sir William White, the celebrated English naval constructor, in a paper read before the British association this month, in order to illustrate the advance that had been made in steam navigation from even so late a date as 1M0, called to mind that in the past. Till years speed has increased from S'j knots to 'X2l2 knots; that the length of the Atlantic passage had been reduced oN per and that if the rate of coal consumption at that time had been maintained it would require 14.000 tons of coal to do what Ji.lMiO now does. The Saturday Review made a still more striking illustration of the advancement of science in this department by referring to a was read before the British association in J.S'IS wherein it was mathematically and.

therefore, conclusively demonstrated that no vessel could be built to carry coal sufficient to enable it to cross the Atlantic, due allowance being made for winds and currents. "Marrying at second hand" is a curious custom which has lately come to light In that part of south Tendon called Lam heth. It appears that the youth of that disrict believe that by 'assising' at a legitimate wedding eoremon with the Intent that they shall themselves be married by silently following the responses and exchanging vows they become united as legally and canonieally as the parties joining hands before the clergyman. This idea came to light on account of some little difficulty In connection with a baptismal ceremony, where objection was taken by some hostile women folk to the christening on the ground that the parties claiming to be the parents of the candidate were 'only married at second It did not transpire why this circumstance was considered inimical to the baby's right to the ordinance. But inquiry revealed that these vicarious weddings, if they may be so termed, are not uncommon in the district, and that the participants are usually recognized thereafter as wedded people.

Berlin seems not to take kindly to the wnmnn club idea. For months past some of the more enterprising women of the Gorman capital have been endeavoring to put on a paying basis a club modelled after some of the big women's clubs of Ixmdon. and it has been announced that unless more success Is met with Immediately the project will have to go under. So far the promotors have been able to get only, enough money to pay the first year rent, and funds are still wanting for furnishing purposes. The membership is also very small, notwithstanding the fact the yearly dues arp only and that no entrance fee is required.

Perhaps the failure Is due to Kaiser AVIlhelm's refusal to smile on the enterprise and the good Rerllnese hausfrau may think It majestats beleldlgung If she goes beyond the three k's with which he limits her usefulness, kinder, klrche, kuche. AN OWL THAT STOLE HATS Our ornithological readers send us some curious bird stories occasionally, but the story of the owl with a mania for collecting hats, and collecting them in the most violent manner, Is more like a llsh than a bird story. Our correspondent, however, vouches for its truth. It was tile Norfolk parish of Buckonham that this creature succeeded in putting Into a state of scare for a week or two little while ago. Persons walking out In the dusk were liable to sudden and mysterious aerial attacks, ending In the carrying off of their hats.

The local signalman was the first victim. Then a young laborer was at. tacked, and his hat war found next day In a field some distance oft. With no sense of reverence at all, the owl went for the rector, but failed to secure the clerical hat. A'ter frightening several womn out of their wits, the bird was finally shot and proved to be a very line female specimen of the brown owl.

The mystery of why It carried off the hats of those It attacked remains unsolved. Westminster Gazette. Friendly Comment. From the Indianapolis Journal. "Last year I shot the biggest deer that was ever killed In the Michigan woods.

You don't believe that, do you?" "Of course I do. It had to be enormous for you to hit It at all." PEOPLE AND PROJECTS. The following breezy article appeared in the Stroudsburg Times of Saturday evening: "For some reason, this year, neither the attendance or the variety of exhibits at the county fair held last week were up to the usual averuge." Pike County Press. The above appeared in the Pike county Press la? i week. The Times called Kditor Van Etten's attention to the lecord breaking attendance and what Judges Gemot and Miksch.

of Nazareth said of the exhibits. In this week's Press appears the following: "We are pleased to note the correction and join In congratulations at the achievements of our sister county. We have demanded of our representative, who was present on the ground, and gave us the Information, an explanation as to how he could be so greatly mistaken In his estimates both as to the display and attendance, and the only tangible reason he can assign is that he had only one bottle of "ginger on the grounds. He frankly admits that had he persisted in slaking his which was not phenomenal, with that beverage as he found It there he would probably have been cheered Into a more roseate and magnificent view of things in general. We apologize and will be more careful next year io either go ourselves, or Send some one of equal capacity with the representatives of other papers in patronizing the soft drink stands.

Pupt. Sawyer is making pteparations for a very interesting institute. There will be evening sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Judge Ermentrout of Berks county has admonished liquor dealers against the influence lent by music in saloons and warned licensed venders that this would be considered a cause for the revocation of their license. The judge holds that in the true Interpretation of the law the saloon is neither a concert garden nor a vaudeville hall.

This opinion of the learned Berks county jurist may be digested by liquor dealers generally, as it is a custom in many Pennsylvania towns to have music in the saloons as a drawing card, and the practice seems to be growing to some extent. A conspicuous feature of Thursday's session of the Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal conference at Johnstown wis the address to the candidates for the ministry by Bishop Fowler of Buffalo. X. Y. He told them that one Incompetent preacher sent out by the conference would "tomahawk" a church and could do more damage than five good pastors could repair.

"Remember," he said, "you are asking to be admitted to the ranks of the cleanest, best and most triumphant army the sun ever shone upon." The bishop gave the candidates a deal of sound advice in the matter of preparing their sermons and the best course to pursue in their work, with special reference to the avoidance of laziness. The young men were advised to "get married," if they have not al readv taken the step, and they ought to select a woman of good sound sense. "Don't," he said, "select a helpmate just because she is religious. Let there be only one preacher in your home, and let that be yourself."

The butter people are finding it extremely difficult to keep the oleomargarine people from making and selling their wares.

There is a heavy demand for oleo, and the demand is met, notwithstanding the laws, restrictive and prohibitive, enacted by 'the several! Slates; and the laws themselves are undergoing scrutiny and modification. The latest victory for the oleomargarine manufacturers was won in Michigan. In a decision handed down dav or two ago, the Supreme Court practically nullified the Michigan Hiiti oleomargaTine law, holding unconstitutional that portion which makes it a criminal offence to make any butter substitute so as to resemble the genuine butter. In other words, the maker of oleomargarine has the right to make his product salable. This opinion is of interest in Pennsylvania, for the same question has been raised in this State.

While she was in attendance at her lodge Mr. Oliver, who serves as her husband, called at midnight to invite her to abandon public cares in the interest of the narrower nome circle. Hie outer guard communicated with the inner guard, and in i espouse to the proper signal Mrs. Oliver appeared in the lobby "resplendent in gorgeous regalia, in which the national colors were the dominant note." The lady explained that she could not g. home, for the reason that the lodge was in the midst of discussion of a question important to the welfare of the country.

Mr. Oliver insisted, and she? fell back upon her constitutional rights as a citizen. Thereupon the infuriated man laid traitorous hands upon costume, wrenching away the Starry Banner that was draped on her loyal shoulders, using at the same time language which affronted her as an American and a lady. 'This insult to the stars and stripes." Mrs. Oliver explained later to the reporters, "completely prostrated me for a full half hour." Mr.
